September 2026 release notes for Test Cloud in Automation Cloud.

September 4, 2026

Relay permissions for role-based access

Relay access is now controlled by dedicated Relay permissions instead of Test Cloud administrator group membership. Tenant Administrators can create, edit, and delete Relay Groups without an Organization Administrator role, and custom roles can grant granular Relay access: Relay group (View, Create, Edit, Delete), Relay client (Delete), and Relay group config (View).

Custom roles that previously granted Relay visibility through the Centralized Access Administration page permission no longer have access to Relay Groups. Those roles must be updated to include Relay > Relay group > View. Organization Administrators and Tenant Administrators are unaffected.

For details, see Configuring a Relay group and Roles.

Relay support for TCP-based connections

Relay now reaches supported on-premises systems that use protocols other than HTTP. The first supported connection is SAP BAPI, which uses SAP's RFC protocol over TCP.

Relay routes these calls through the on-prem executor, a Java process that the Relay client starts and supervises on the same host. The executor listens on the loopback interface only and accepts no connections from outside the host.

Using a TCP-based connection requires Relay client 26.4.3 or later, a Java 21 or later runtime on the Relay host, and the connector's libraries in a directory you provide. Arbitrary TCP passthrough is not supported, and the on-prem executor is not available when you run the Relay client as a container.

For details, see Supported TCP-based connections and On-prem executor for supported TCP-based connections.
